Dominique Field of Paris

2013 - number 219 completed in March. Labelled, numbered and dated by the maker.

Body:

Rosewood - very dark, straight-grained with lovely, subtle colours with very fine line purflings. All shellac french-polished.

Front:

European spruce with plenty of medullary figuring over the front. Exquisite rosette with very fine details and rich colours - and very fine purfling lines; all characteristic of the highest standards of French lutherie.

This is a virtually new guitar from Dominique Field, sold as secondhand from its recent owner.
Dominique Field has an order list of approximately 15 years. His recent instruments have been very difficult to find and are sought-after by players and collectors alike. They are amongst the very strongest sound-projecting yet traditionally-built concert guitars available anywhere in the world. Their sound is very even, pure and focussed allowing the accomplished player to find his / her own colours. This is a rare opportunity to have a highly-refined concert guitar from a maker whose reputation for impeccable quality of construction is rarely equalled.
This guitar can be seen played on Youtube - Comparison of Classical Guitars.
